Thousands Sue Johnson & Johnson in UK Over Alleged Talcum Powder Cancer Risks
Johnson & Johnson and its consumer health arm, Kenvue, are facing a lawsuit in the UK over potential cancer risks associated with their talcum powder products.
Over 3,000 individuals in the UK are taking legal action against the company, alleging that they or a family member developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma as a result of using Johnson's baby powder between 1965 and 2023.
- The lawsuit, filed by KP Law at the High Court in London, seeks damages against Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue UK.
- Kenvue UK was split from Johnson & Johnson in 2023 and now operates as a separate business.
The allegations center around the presence of asbestos in the talcum powder, which can cause potentially deadly cancers when in its fibrous form.
Both minerals, when in their fibrous form, are classified as asbestos and linked to potentially deadly cancers.
